P: Please add red eye removal

@martyn_williams_jd0oga3s57gp6 Funny thing is that this is already developed in Photoshop Express... Granted it might be a destructive edit, but I can easily think of a non-destructive way of doing it (e.g. metadating the edit). 

I've just found a relatively easy solution:

1. (First time only) On mobile, you install Photoshop Express and login with your Adobe Account Id.

2. From Lightroom on your mobile device, share the image to Photoshop Express

3. Use Photoshop Express function to remove the red eye or the pet eye as needed

4. Click (touch) next and share back to Lightroom. 

5. You will find the image on the recently added section from where you could add it to the albums as needed, and you can then delete the original photo, or keep in the catalog it but remove from the albums where you add the fixed one.

Although it has a few steps, it works quite well.

I find a really pitty that Adobe Product Management Team do not release guides on how they "think" the product is intended to be used, so easy tasks such as red eye removal could be solved. Even if the solution involves another tool, I'd rather prefer to know it beforehand than having to find a circumvention myself which could be far from optimal.

@benjamin_warde

Could you at least explain the intended/opinionated way you would accomplish this under the current feature set??  I guess some official guides right from the Product Managers on what is the current ideation of how the Lightroom cloud apps are supposed to be used will be of great benefit to us users wishing to use it really. For now it's frustration after frustration. 

Hey! I have Lightroom 4.2 and I would like to ask how to remove red eyes?

This thread is being merged into an authoritative thread for better tracking and response. 

Can we get red eye removal on Lightroom cloud? It is a very simple and obvious missing feature in this otherwise great program.

Not having a simple red-eye removal feature is embarrassing......

I am going to add my void to this voice to this thread on the lack of a red eye removal tool.  It is a basic feature in almost any photo editing software package I have used for many years.  I see examples on the web where folks can do this in Lightroom Classic but now we are unable to purchase classic  now because Adobe wants to force us to subscription model.  I am new to Lightroom and this seems like a basic feature not to have available.  Seems like a simple thing to add to the healing tool set.  You have the basic software to do this in previous tools. I am dubious about subscription models to begin with.  If I don't see a red eye removal tool in the future, I will probably drop Lightroom and move onto something else.  I would not have purchased Lightroom in the first place if I knew it was missing this feature.  I am going to write a review in the App Store to indicate this.  Thanks for listening. 

@dgrainger – well, yes, I can use Gimp, probably, but I just wanted to let my voice be heard at Adobe that adding this feature could improve customer satisfaction a lot, without cannibalising their other products.

I was using iPhoto and the Aperture, and at some time switched to LR 6, and now LR (the cloud version that has had a lot of different names). I made most of the moves forced by product discontinuation or missing features (LR 6 cannot handle HEIC, for example). I am mostly happy now with LR, but red eye removal – a feature all of the solutions above had – is gone. And while I can fix those photos outside of LR, I would prefer to stay in the ecosystem I am currently subscribed to.

*dave_mckenna Can you make a localized brush adjustment over they eyes, set to negative saturation/vibrance to remove the red?
